In the U.S. Circuit Court case of Lee, Murphy & Avery v. Adams, Lincoln files a
declaration for the plaintiffs, of New York. Illinois resident Joseph H. Adams
purchased $3,461.32, worth of goods, including fur hats, gloves, and capes from
the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs are suing Adams, who "although often requested
so to do . . . has not as yet paid the said sum of money, or any part thereof,
but so to do has hitherto wholly neglected and refused, and still does neglect
and refuse [to pay]." The plaintiffs seek $5,000, in damages.
